I am not familiar with Cambridge University processes yet I may intrigued by the glorious architectural designs of Trinity College and Corpus Christi which I would like to visit, thank you and remain vigilant in your academic pursuit.

If a college is rich does that mean they want academically very strong students?

[@IlyasCambridgeAdvice]

Probably not, wealth shouldn't affect their entry standard.

Thank you for the video

So, basically, it’s nice to get into the nice colleges? I don’t think that requires quantum physics.

[@IlyasCambridgeAdvice]

It doesn't require quantum physics, but some people might not realise that doing an open application can increase your chances of being allocated to a less "nice" college

I'm looking to apply at Oxbridge university mostly undergraduate and MEng Engineering or MEng CS or anything related to the field, what would you recommend as the best colleges for these fields, in addition since I'm international student I'm not that interested expensive colleges but rather is looking for a cheap one since Oxbridge is already expensive on its own I might imperial college London on the list of unis I'm applying

[@IlyasCambridgeAdvice]

Richer colleges are cheaper. Unless you want specific academics, your college choice won't really affect your field.

[@majidalbarram3488]

@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice ik that much but I want cheap college so that I could make the cost of living easier

[@Priv-rb3ow]

Hi where can I find the info about the cost per student?

[@IlyasCambridgeAdvice]

Tuition fees: www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/fees-and-finance/tuition-fees Living costs: www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/fees-and-finance/living-costs The living costs are estimates and will obviously vary per individual, and for the tuition fees you can get a student loan (if you're a UK national and maybe EU depending on the rules). There's also bursaries available if you need the money: www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/cambridgebursary This is a good question so I'll probably make a video about this in the future!
